Description (last modified by tct)

I was testing plaisthos' --peer-fingerprint setup and discovered that when either peer uses --explicit-exit-notify and then exits (CTRL-C) this causes the remote peer to also exit on a received signal.

So I tested master using a PSK setup and found the same is true.

The log below is for alice configured to listen, bob connects and then disconnects and sends --explicit-exit-notify, alice exits. If bob does not use --explicit-exit-notify then alice remains running. (This works both ways):
